Theme Members,

Your moderators and I have talked through the nature of traffic moving on the 
Growth and Poverty 
Theme.  Whilst DFID and the Oversight Group are delighted with the level of 
interest and the 
continued valuable contributions, we feel that some of the threads of 
discussion might best be 
followed within other more appropriate themes.

We are therefore taking the liberty to copy across to those themes some 
selected contributions 
from this group, specifically those that contribute to the debate on 
agricultural/rural extension, 
which is now being transferred to Science and Technology, and the debate on 
Co-operatives and 
Farmer Organizations which will be transferred to Economic Growth.  Your 
current theme 
moderator will include key issues on these topics on their next summary and 
hand the baton on 
to the other moderators who will follow through - be assured that your ideas 
will not be lost in this 
transition.  We hope that the copying of files will be completed today.

This action will enable the Growth and Poverty Theme to focus on the broad 
issues relating to the 
contribution of agriculture to growth and poverty reduction, the changing 
context of agriculture, 
and the general implications for development strategies, programmes and 
resource allocation. 
This theme will continue to address both the realities on the ground as well as 
the macro picture. 
We do acknowledge that all factors link together however we feel on balance 
that this will help 
the overall debate.  

Some members of this theme may need to register with an additional group - we 
do hope that 
you feel able to do this and that you are willing to carry forward your 
enthusiastic debate within a 
new theme.

Thanks and kind regards

Felicity Proctor
